Community Advisory Committee (CAC) Each Charter LEA member will select a representative to participate in the DMCS CAC. This group will advise the DMCS Administrator on the implementation of the Local Plan as well as provide parent training options. CAC representatives must be approved by the Charter LEA’s governing school board. Additionally, because of the geographic diversity anticipated within the DMCS, many meetings will be conducted using available technology. All Charter LEA members who join the DMCS will be required to have their governing school boards approve the Local Plan for special education.

Agreement for Participation The DMCS as authorized by the California State Board of Education assists California charter schools that have successfully completed the DMCS membership process and have signed an Agreement for Participation. Charter schools accepted into the DMCS are deemed Local Education Agencies (LEAs) pursuant to Education Code § 47641 and are obligated to provide special education and related services to applying or enrolled students actually, or potentially entitled to services under applicable state and federal laws and regulations. The Agreement for Participation details the Charter LEA member, the Office of the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, and the DMCS’s mutual agreement for the provision of services under the Local Plan.
The DMCS endeavors that all children with disabilities attending Charter LEA members shall receive appropriate special education services, and that such special education programs and services shall be coordinated and operated in the DMCS in accordance with the approved policies and procedures defined in the Agreement for Participation.
